“Hello, I am State Senator Patty Schachtner with this week’s Democratic radio address.

“In his first State of the State address, Governor Tony Evers laid out an agenda to expand access to health care, fully fund our schools, and provide income tax relief for working families. Governor Evers spoke about the need to connect the dots between the issues facing our communities.

“When we invest in small business startups and broadband expansion, we grow our Main Streets. When we preserve health care protections provided under the Affordable Care Act, we empower families. When we do what’s best for our kids, we do what’s best for our state.

“Governor Evers is committed to finding common ground. And, when it comes to health care, schools, and roads, we need to come together to find solutions. Thank you”
